Bobby and I had no set plans for Labor Day Weekend. Since I had been under the weather most of last week and he had been filling in for his boss while she was on vacation, we were looking forward to a restful and relaxing weekend.

Randi sent me a text about the Go Ape course at Mill Stream Run Reservation in Strongsville, stating it would be a good “sister bonding” experience and something I could write about on my blog.
